Events like this come as a breath of fresh air after the French government on Sunday announced a ban on alcohol near Euro 2016 venues and fan zones, after three days of violence among fans in the southern city of Marseille.

UEFA have also threatened to ban England and have suspended a decision to ban Russia from the competition after the crowd troubles on Saturday.
